Lightning Fast H.264 Encoding Card for Professionals

Matrox CompressHD implements Matrox MAX technology in an amazingly affordable H.264 accelerator card. It works in systems with or without a video I/O device and extends the life of your current system investment, giving you the power you need to deliver today's premium H.264 formats up to 5 times faster than software alone. This low profile, half-length PCIe x1 card fits into Intel-based Mac Pros and PC workstations and desktop systems. Get yourself a Matrox CompressHD card and deliver your projects in a fraction of the time

MAX H.264 Encoding Acceleration
Resolutions: Even frame sizes from 64 x 64 to 1920 x 1080
Bit rates:100 Kb/s to 50 Mb/s
Frame rates: 15, 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 frames per second
Encoding profiles: Baseline (CAVLC) and main (CABAC) profiles
Encoding controls:
.2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 level support
.GOP structure
.Constant bit rate (bit rate remains stable, quality varies depending on complexity of each frame)
.Constant quality (each video frame is analyzed to deliver the targeted quality, bit rate varies while keeping the lowest possible bit rate)
. Variable bit rate (squeezes out the highest possible quality at the average target bit rate )
.Noise filtering (saves bits by reducing high frequencies in the video)
.De-interlacing (ensures high-quality encodes of interlaced SD and 1080i source material)
.Data rate slider (produces smoother or more abrupt transitions)
. Sample rate monitoring (verifies compliance with targeted data rate)
. Scene detection (provides multi-pass quality in a single pass with Apple Compressor)

Scaling
Dedicated hardware scaler: Multi-tap 10-bit realtime processing

Software
